Gift for a veterinarian: a pompous pet portrait

Ellie-May at work.

What is the ideal gift for a busy veterinarian? We
recently asked this question in planning for a milestone birthday (21) for our
boss. The answer was an historic painting featuring her non-human family
members from Paul Carpenter at Pompous Pets.

Geoffery, captured in a rare nanosecond of stillness.

We submitted photos of Geoffery (Burmese) and Ellie-May
(Labradoodle) and along with a brief biography of each. Geoffery is definitely
in charge. Paul sent us a draft, we agreed that it looked awesome, and he hand delivered it.

This is the final result – and yes, she did love it!

Also this week, I was interviewed by Brian from VetTalkTV
about Monday’s blog post. You can listen to the podcast here.
